Bachelor of Science - Mathematics - Statistics

With a major in mathematics with a concentration in statistics, students develop problem-solving, logical and critical thinking skills. While completing the required coursework, students gain an understanding of the nature of proof, a general understanding of mathematics and an understanding of statistical reasoning, necessary assumptions and the correct use of statistical analysis procedures. Math and statistics majors also develop statistical software skills and oral and written mathematical communication skills. The statistics concentration in mathematics prepares students for graduate work in statistics or to enter the job force. With some additional job-specific training, students entering the job market could function as applied statisticians working in areas such as actuarial science, wildlife management, marketing, quality control and epidemiology to name a few.
